Benefits of ACX5400 Routers
•
Optimized space—The ACX5400 router has a 1 U form factor and is ideal for Ethernet service aggregation.
Its innovative design helps service providers build high-density, high-performance 100-Gigabit Ethernet
infrastructures where rack space and cooling are limited.
•
High performance
•
The 52 ports on the ACX5448 router support 10-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds providing a total
throughput of up to 800 Gbps. The router provides full metro Ethernet and IP/MPLS VPN services in
a space-optimized platform.
•
The ACX5448-D router supports 10-Gigabit, 100-Gigabit, and 100G/200G dense wavelength-division
multiplexing (DWDM) ports with a system throughput of up to 800 Gbps. The innovative design of
the ACX5448-D helps service providers develop converged packet optical solutions.
•
Simplified network architecture— The ACX5400 line of routers simplify access and aggregation
architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays.
•
Advanced security capabilities— The ACX5448-M router supports advanced security capabilities such
as Media Access Control Security (MACsec) on the 10-Gigabit or 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports to protect
against potential network vulnerabilities.
ACX5448, ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M System Overview
The ACX5400 routers have a high-throughput Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance of the
control plane running on ACX5400 routers is enhanced by the 1.9-Ghz six-core Intel CPU with 32-GB of
memory and two 100-GB enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs) for storage.
We ship the ACX5400 routers with redundant fans and redundant power supply modules (PSMs). You
can order the routers with front-to-back airflow (airflow out or AFO) or back-to-front airflow (airflow in
or AFI), and with AC or DC PSMs.
Figure 7 on page 22 shows the important components on the front of the ACX5448 router.
